2:18

Every day, the alarm on my watch goes off at 2:18. I could reset it any time, but it always seems I'm in the midst of doing something that requires my undivided attention, so I simply tap the little button and carry on with my day.

I can't remember why, exactly, I originally set the watch for 2:18. Most likely, I had to be somewhere at 2:30, and I wanted to have 15 minutes of prep time beforehand (my watch is three minutes fast).

As a result, there's something very comforting about 2:18. It reminds me that I'm not supposed to be somewhere doing something. It's an unalarm reminding me of an impending non-appointment.
